Chapter 299: Happy New Year, Where Are You (Two-in-One Chapter)
Old Mrs. Chu's hand holding the phone tightened: "Well, it's all good." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Mother, my dad went to your place for the New Year this year, and my brother and they dragged a child and couldn't come back, causing trouble for you and your eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Say hello to my eldest brother and sister-in-law for me, Xiaoci is there, especially for me and my sister-in-law...... Great work. ”
The little daughter-in-law spoke to her more and more politely.
Also, accept your fate, the son's bond is gone.
Old Lady Chu nodded, squinted her cloudy eyes slightly, looked at the family photo hanging on the wall, and looked seriously at the appearance of her youngest son Chu Hongchi in a military uniform.
It's another year in a flash.
Back then, the little daughter-in-law didn't stand up like other military wives, nor did she have a hard heart like her.
Instead, he was like a psychopath, crying and shouting to her in the middle of the night: "Hongchi asked me to send clothes, mother, he's cold!" ”
She knew that her little daughter-in-law couldn't bear it mentally, so she let her go and went away.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of kilometers away, and the old lady Chu doesn't know how far it is, so she knows that a good family is scattered, and it will be several years after leaving, leaving only the lonely Xiaoci.
"No hassle. Jing'an, you're doing well, aren't you? You have to eat well and be in good health. ”
……
When Chu Ci answered the phone, the old lady handed the microphone again and again, looked up at her little grandson waiting, and prayed that Chu Ci could say a few words to her little daughter-in-law, no father must have a mother, Xiao Ci, no mother does not hurt children.
Old Mrs. Chu felt sad in her heart. Chu Ci didn't answer, so she stretched out her arm and handed it over.
Compared with Chu Ci, she, the mother of the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man, is not pitiful, and has been with her son for decades, but she has suffered the child.
Hongchi was too busy to leave Chu Ci with any memory.
Chu Ci took the microphone under his grandmother's pleading gaze, and the other side of the phone had already asked repeatedly:
"Is it Xiaoci? Xiaoci? It's Mommy, Xiaoci. ”
The boy, who was less than fourteen years old, stood straight by the phone, looked out the window, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhang Jing'an held the phone in one hand and grabbed the necklace around his neck with the other, speechless.
Obviously, Chu Ci didn't respond, but she knew that her son must be listening, as if admitting his mistake, she coaxed Chu Ci softly:
"Mom will definitely go back to China next year. I applied, this time I really go back, guarding you, only guarding you.
My son has learned English, and in a blink of an eye, you are in junior high school.
Ah, your grandfather said that you don't know a foreign language, it's okay, it's really okay, son, if you don't want to learn, don't learn, wait for your mother to go back and teach.
You just have to be good, good.
Xiaoci, if you say something to me, just say it, mom begs you. ”
Chu Ci heard his mother crying over there, his eyes were red, and he was so excited that he suppressed himself but couldn't control his lips together, and finally couldn't stand it, and shouted in a male duck voice in the voice change period:
"You hate it like this, do you know? If you want to come back, come back directly, Chinese New Year's Eve calls and cries and cries, my grandfather and my grandmother can't stand it, can you understand something! ”
Zhang Jing'an cried, raised her teary eyes and said, "Ah, Xiaoci, is it you?" Did you talk to your mother? ”
Chu Ci rubbed his face vigorously with the sleeve of his clothes, too lazy to answer his mother's nonsense, clicked, and hung up the phone. When she raised her eyes to look at Old Lady Chu again, the tears in her eyes fell again, and she shouted angrily:
"What are you crying about?!"
Old Lady Chu's expression was complicated.
The cheeks were undried tears, and the eyes were full of tears, but with a smile on her lips, she looked at her little grandson, and replied after a long absence, and her voice was transparent:
"I'm crying!"
She finally had expectations for the new year, and told herself: don't look at eighty, live well, and strive to live to ninety-eight.
……
Sweet and sour pork ribs, pork trotters in sauce, pork slices, sauerkraut and white meat, sesame sauce and large peel, shredded sweet potato, skin jelly dipped in garlic sauce, chicken stewed mushrooms, pork stewed vermicelli, braised three scales.
Bi Yue was like a little girl, and one dish after another was served on the table.
The kitchen of the outhouse was full of open and closed doors, and the snow was falling in the yard, but the smell of vegetables was scattered everywhere inside the house.
Liu Yafang tied a small square flower cloth around her head to cover her hair, and a blue cloth apron was wrapped around the front placket.
She was busy from morning to night, and she was so tired that she seemed to be unable to straighten her waist in order to prepare this table of dishes, but she kept chattering with a smile on her lips.
The ten dishes on the table of the Bi family mean perfection, and Bi Sheng is amazed when he sees it.
Bi Sheng didn't have a headache and a sore buttocks, so he sat on the kang and stared at the meal honestly.
The kid got up in the morning and insisted that he had a cold, and Bi Tiegang scolded him while trying to find him pills, but he protested:
"What kind of medicine do you take for headache and brain fever? It's not good to take medicine for the New Year, just eat some canned food to deal with it. ”
I "dealt with" two bottles of canned yellow peaches in a row, and now I am hungry again staring at the vegetables.
Bi Yue picked up the chopsticks and found that her mother was not on the table yet, so she finally became a little careful as a daughter, and went down to the ground to put on her shoes and invite.
"Mother, can you wait until you finish eating before cleaning up? As soon as you get to the dinner table, you wipe this and clean up that, and this problem has to be changed. Do you say the big guy is waiting for you or not waiting for you? Hurry up, let's go inside and eat. ”
Liu Yafang sniffed, and when she opened and closed the door, she choked on the cold:
"Didn't I wipe it with the lid hot. Okay, let's go inside and eat, and don't talk about me. ”
Bi Yue doesn't say anything good about it, she doesn't complain, she feels sorry for Liu Yafang. wanted to help with the work and cooking, but her mother still couldn't believe her.
Can you not feel distressed? It's really emotional.
During these days, Liu Yafang warmed her feet with her thick hands, and always pressed a cotton jacket on the quilt in advance, she was used to drilling into Liu Yafang's quilt when it was cold in the middle of the night.
In just a few days, Liu Yafang lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bi Yue looked at her mother carefully, the sin of taking the car back, the person who was already motion sickness, put an oil drum in the trunk, the smell of oil in the car, her father and her uncle closed the window and smoked again, so is there a good one? Her mother's face was sallow all the way.
When she got home, she didn't have a rest, and she caught up with her father to sit there and eat and drink, all of which were Liu Yafang's burdens, one meal after another.
"Eat, I'll clean up after eating. Don't worry about me cooking, don't worry about me washing dishes? You can play poker with Bi Cheng. ”
While entering the house, I thought, the 80s also had the bad of the 80s, and the bad was quite obvious.
One is the inconvenience of transportation, and the other is that men and women are not equal.
From the time she came back to the present, her father didn't do much work, and he was noisily eating and drinking with a group of old men to find the right to speak.
When you talk about Kyoto, you can talk about the leaders, it's just nonsense, and they talk about what the leaders eat and drink all day, as if they saw it.
The lower pull can be pulled two miles away, who is a big grain producer, and praises a person who doesn't know people.
The women are silently preparing this and that at home, and look at that, they are all quite accustomed to it, and they have no complaints.
Several people in the Bi family served wine glasses, and only Bi Cheng's cup was sugar water.
Bi Tielin said:
"Sister-in-law, it's hard work." These dishes.
Liu Yafang, the most simple rural woman, understood everything in just one sentence, and nodded with a smile:
"Tielin, it's not hard, it's all over. I knew that our family's good days were really coming, look at our family's food, this year is really a reunion. ”
Bi Tiegang answered and said to his younger brother: "Tielin, you have also worked hard. ”
Bi Yue rubbed his arm, is it not?
Obviously they are all rough people, why are they talking so sour one after another today?
She also held a wine glass and said in the direction of Bi Cheng: "Brother, mix with my sister, it's not easy for you, it's hard!" "Raise your neck and do it first for respect.
Bi Yue, who was spicy and spicy, had tears in her eyes, and laughed at everyone in Liu Yafang's voice scolding her for being a little drunkard and following her father.
She didn't expect that in just half a year, she not only had a younger brother who struggled with her, but also a family.
The uncle, who had just been released from prison, used the first money he earned to steal the bag he left behind, which was like a robot cat, containing her coat, pen, and school bag.
Dogdan'er surrounded her in front of and behind her, watching her lie in the hospital, holding her with her little hands.
Her father and mother "love and hate" her.
Scene by scene, good and bad, she finally understood what was missing before.
A person, no matter where he is, must have a family member to share his successes and failures, which is called a sense of belonging.
Bi Yue picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, listened to her uncle's memories of the Spring Festival in the sixties, and heard that her father and mother were determined to go to Kyoto, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked when she smiled, but she didn't participate in the topic, but thought:
In 1985, she generated an income of nearly $100,000.
In the new year, she wants to take it to the next level.
Chu Yifeng, I will work harder, what about you? Happy New Year!
……
"Yueyue, a good ...... for the New Year" Chu Yifeng, who was only wearing a black hurdle vest, paused there after he finished writing.
Looking closer and farther, he is stronger.
The biceps brachii are thick and hard.
Obviously, with that handsome face, he used to be able to make a meal in front of Bi Yue, but he was stunned and ran away on the Qingjun route.
The skin was dark and rough, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and the palms of his hands were ground into thick calluses.
Chu Yifeng was brewing emotions, and he planned to write a letter to Bi Yue with affection.
How strong is the emotion?
Well, let Bi Yue take it out and take a look if it's okay. When he saw the letter, it was as if he was standing in front of her, thinking of not being able to think of it, thinking of tears.
Thinking that Bi Yue would be like that, it was over, and it was still unknown what Bi Yue would be able to receive the letter, Chu Yifeng was instantly stunned.
His eyes were full of tenderness, and he wrote when his emotions were at their strongest: "Yueyue, I really miss you." ”……
The door was kicked open, and the young man outside the door shouted: "Team Chu, happy New Year!" ”
x! Chu Yifeng exhaled, and was disturbed again, it's not easy to write a letter, this is the twenty-time time, right?
I can't shake my face yet, so I can only look back and nod and say:
"Oh, you have a good New Year, too."
turned around and brewed again, brewed for dozens of seconds, and wrote: "Grow long hair for me, wait for your long hair to reach ...... waist"
"Team Chu, have a good New Year!"
Chu Yifeng nodded again and again: "Well, happy New Year." Who's that? Leave the door open for me. When he looked down again, he wrote:
"Yueyue, I want to train harder and work hard to get promoted in the new year, so that I can have an independent office!"
Wang Daniu walked in with a washbasin: "Battalion commander, it's about to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, wash your face, can you pay attention to your image?" ”
It can be seen that Chu Yifeng, who was once handsome, is now plagued by the special brigade, and even Wang Daniu is disgusted.
Chu Yifeng looked at the roof of the shed speechlessly, anxious to express his emotions, why was he always interrupted!
And he didn't know that in his troubled good popularity, in fact, in the eyes of a person, he looked very uncomfortable.
Jun Hui was still holding a bottle of canned food in his big palm, and he stood in the corridor, unable to explain his feelings for a while, the only thing he could be sure of was that there was not just jealousy in that feeling.
The "little follower" who had a good relationship with him behind him said unintentionally:
"Squadron leader, Deputy Chu is really ...... Those people in our squadron are too, obviously you are the head, why do you want to call the deputy team the Chu team? Isn't that intentional? Deputy Chu didn't correct it, and asked him to agree. ”
Jun Hui had a cold face: "Shut up!" ”
"I just can't get used to it. Squadron leader, I think Deputy Team Chu did it on purpose, knowing that you didn't deal with Lu Qingcang in the first squadron, he was still very close. It's really popular! ”
Jun Hui turned to leave, didn't say a word, and didn't have the heart to share the can with Chu Yifeng.
He leaned against the wall, looked up at the moon and smoked, thinking about the man's words.
Jun Hui really couldn't think about it.
In the past, Brother Chu was good with him and could wear a pair of pants, and among those people in their compound, one of them proposed that whoever didn't pay attention to it would take care of anyone, and the others immediately followed.
What now?
Is it because Brother Chu has changed, or is he too simple.
During the Chinese New Year, the team members who met him only said hello to him, but one after another took the initiative to come to the door to greet Brother Chu for the New Year.
Jun Hui took a hard drag on his cigarette.
Also, Brother Chu's leg is not a drag now, hehe, his results in all aspects have begun to catch up with him, is he dissatisfied?
Especially if he is half a cut higher than him, but he is a deputy, how can he be willing?
Jun Hui muttered to himself: "It's worthy of coming out of the big office, a place to fiddle with people." It's not like me, I've been staying at the grassroots level, but I'm better than me. ”
Jun Hui looked at the dark training ground with complicated eyes, and at this moment, he was in turmoil. There is a jealousy that is eating away at his judgment.
He twisted his eyebrows and thought: He was a fool before, but he won't be able to do it later. It was only when he recognized Yifeng's person clearly.
As for the subordinates of the third squadron, they are even more stupid!
Jun Hui wondered, a person is good with anyone, what does that mean? The representative is not good with anyone. I won't dig my heart, I am in a gentleman's relationship!
Before turning to leave, he looked in the direction of Chu Yifeng's dormitory: "Brother Chu, in the future, you will be my deputy squadron, position, woman, I will no longer pretend to be humble to you in a clear way!" ”
Jun Hui may have forgotten that when he led the team, it was Chu Yifeng who redeemed the "backward soldiers" behind the team, and because of this, Chu Yifeng overtook Lu Qingcang and him in many aspects, but the comprehensive result was the tail of the crane.
Jun Hui may not have forgotten that he was looking for an excuse for himself to be at ease, just for the man's desire to control his career ambitions.
……
Chu Yifeng put a towel on his shoulder, looked at his watch, and stared at the letter again, pondering, this time he was not brewing feelings, but thinking about whether to write something practical.
For the first time, he was stretched thin. Before leaving, I didn't need any money just to think about it, so I didn't have a few of them.
As a result, when the brothers did not receive allowances, the training was so hard that he bought all the cigarettes and lent some to others. There are no two left in the pocket.
Chu Yifeng rubbed his face with both hands, otherwise forget it, it's embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
